About Farah

I have a Ph.D. in education and a Masters in instructional sciences/mathematics and a bachelor in mathematics. For the past 20 years, I have been teaching middle, high, and post-secondary students in one-to-one and group classes, providing academic tutoring as well as preparing students for standardized exams such asSAT, ACT, GRE, etc.

I provide students with differentiated levels of study material, analyze their weak areas and provide them appropriate material to improve their skills. I make sure that the instruction is tailored to individual's needs and focuses on student's weak areas. I believe in sending reports to help communicate the value of tutoring and progress reports to keep students accountable and keep parents in the loop.I have a Ph.D. in education and a Masters in instructional sciences/mathematics and a bachelor in mathematics.

"Great Math Tutor"

- Gary, Englewood Cliffs, NJ on 7/17/11

When teaching a lesson, what really matters is if the instructor can take a complex topic and assume the student knows absolutely nothing about the task at hand and take him/her from zero knowledge to expert in step-by-step chunks in a reasonable time. This is what Farah R did with my daughter and I am personally thrill with her math tutoring session and I highly recommend her math tutoring services.

"Great tutor"

- Caroline, Lyndhurst, NJ on 10/21/12

Farah is a great tutor and always responds quickly either by phone or email. Also she is always on timeand I can depend on her. She takes her time to explain to the student about not only math but also how we use it every day in our lives.

She will give examples how we use math unconsciously and how important it is to get to know it. I appreciate her putting in the extra training and explaining it thoroughly. I recommend Farah highly and I'm sure whomever she tutors will leave with a satisfied knowledge of the course.

"Excellent first session for math SAT!"

- Lisa, Fort Lee, NJ on 1/7/12

My son had his first math tutoring session to prepare for the SAT with Farah this past week. Prior to beginning the session, Farah was incredibly quick to respond to all of my emails. He began his first session only a few days after our initial contact. Farah was punctual and prepared for the session. My son called me immediately following the hour and half session to let me know how much he liked Farah's tutoring style and that he thought that they had accomplished quite a bit in the time period. He completed the work that she assigned the next day and seems enthusiastic to work with her again. As a parent, this was the most significant piece of feedback. My son actually is looking forward to working with Farah and I know that his positive attitude toward the tutoring sessions will result in additional practice and will give him his best chance at doing well on the SAT. We are looking forward to working with Farah over the next several months.

Very knowledgeable, great teacher who can guide and identify weaknesses from student to help improving. Punctual. Nothing but positive things to say about Farah.

Approved subjects

In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.

ACT Math

I have been teaching/tutoring the math section of ACT for the past ten years. During the first session, I evaluate the student(s), then I use an individualized approach focusing on strengthening student's weakness as well as a comprehensive subject review. Also, I work with the student on test taking strategies and study tips which make a difference in the score. I use full length tests, online resources and my own material.

Algebra 1

I am a New Jersey licensed math teacher (K-12) and I have been teaching pre-algebra, algebra I and algebra II for the past ten years. I have taught middle school and high school as well as college students. I am familiar with all learning styles and teaching methods and I tailor my teaching to the needs of each student. All my students, after having taken a few session with me, state an enthusiasm in learning math and a higher grade in their classes.

Algebra 2

I am familiar with all learning styles and teaching methods and I tailor my teaching to the needs of each student. All my students after having taken a few session with me, state an enthusiasm in learning math and a higher grade in their classes.

ASVAB

For the past one year, I have been asked to teach/tutor the math section of ASVAB. After teaching a few sessions, my students express a deeper understanding of core concepts in addition to having more confidence in their test taking abilities. During the first session, I give my student a diagnostic test to pinpoint his/her weakness and from there I devise an individualized instruction plan to work on main concepts and strengthen the weaknesses. After evaluation and some tutoring, my students have raised their grades and passed the test and joined the army.

Elementary Math

when teaching math to elementary school students, you have to be even more cognizant of different ways of learning and various methods of teaching a lesson. At elementary school, it is very important to understand math deeply because what students learn here is the basic building blocks of the future mathematics that they will be learning. A teacher/tutor has to constantly evaluate and tailor the teaching style to each and every student and make sure the instruction is effective so that the student can strengthen self confidence as well as basic and fundamental math and study skills. I have been teaching elementary school students for so many years and I love to teach them and watch them learn and develop a love of learning in general and mathematics in particular.

ESL/ESOL

I have many years of experience teaching English as a Second Language to various populations and at different institutions nationally and internationally.

Farsi

Farsi is my mother language and I have complete proficiency in it. I have taught this language at various Sunday schools, universities and in my private teaching classes.

GED

I have been teaching/tutoring the math section of GRE for the past ten years. During the first session, I evaluate the student(s), then I use an individualized approach focusing on strengthening student's weakness as well as a comprehensive subject review. Also, I work with the student on test taking strategies and study tips which make a difference in the score. I use full length tests, online resources and my own material.

Grammar

I am bilingual. I know about the challenges of learning another language and how it might influence your learning process from all different angles with all complex layers. I have taught grammar and ESL at the college level for four years and I do editing for a couple of publications. I can help you learn the language effectively and feel better about yourself.

Prealgebra

I am a New Jersey licensed math teacher (K-12) and I have been teaching Pre-Algebra for the past ten years. I have taught to all grade levels including middle school and high school as well as college students. I am familiar with all learning styles and teaching methods and I tailor my teaching to the needs of each student. All my students after having taken a few session with me, state an enthusiasm in learning math and a higher grade in their classes.

PSAT

I have been teaching/tutoring the math section of PSAT and SSAT for many years. When I start a session with a student(s), first, I evaluate the student(s), then I use an individualized approach focusing on strengthening student's weakness as well as a comprehensive subject review. This is a great point in the student's life where they can begin to learn test taking methods and strategies. These skills will continue to be a great asset for all tests to come. I make sure all my students learn these skills as well as the core mathematical knowledge. I use full length tests, online resources and my own material.

QuickBooks

SAT Math

I have been teaching/tutoring the math section of SAT, as well as the SAT Math Level 1 & 2 subject tests. During the first session, I evaluate the student(s), then I use an individualized approach focusing on strengthening student's weakness as well as a comprehensive subject review. Also, I work with the student on test taking strategies and study tips which make a difference in the score. I use full length tests, online resources and my own material.

SSAT

I have been teaching/tutoring the math section of SSAT for many years. During the first session, I evaluate the student(s) to see which areas of the test the student needs to improve on. Afterwards, I use an individualized approach focusing on strengthening student's weakness as well as mastering other parts. Also, I work with the student on test taking strategies and study tips which make a difference in the score and timing. I use full length tests, online resources and my own material.

Study Skills

I’ve had the opportunity to teach nationally and internationally to various age groups from elementary to graduate levels and from urban to suburban populations. I am multilingual/multicultural and have worked with a variety of linguistic, cultural, and academic populations. My classroom teaching expertise and academic skills in education as well as sciences have equipped me with the essential tools to help all my student with different learning styles and from various social and institutional backgrounds. I believe that every student is capable of high levels of academic and social achievements given the opportunity and the right tools.
